Dear Stratton Families,
I hope this message finds you all safe and well after the recent vacation and snowstorm. We are excited to have everyone back at school tomorrow morning!
Arrival and Dismissal:
Our custodians and the DPW have worked tirelessly over the past 2 days to remove snow from roadways and sidewalks allowing us to reopen the schools. THANK YOU!! Nevertheless, conditions at intersections and at crossings are still tricky. The side streets around the school are definitely more narrow. I encourage families to allow extra time for arrival and dismissal and to use caution when driving, parking, and walking on and around school grounds. We are going to be opening up some spaces for FACULTY to park on the blacktop. As always, please do not pull into or walk through the faculty parking lot at drop off or pick up. This is dangerous for students, even when there is no snow.
Going Outside for Recess:
We will be closely monitoring the “feels like” temperature, but hope (and plan) to have outdoor recess each day. Students should bring snow gear - snow pants, coats, hats, gloves, and mittens - so they can enjoy playing outside. If you are in need of any winter gear, please reach out to me.
Conferences:
This is a reminder that conferences will be taking place next week on March 3rd, 4th and 5th. On Tuesday, March 3rd and Wednesday, March 4th, dismissal will be at 11:30am.
If you have not yet signed up for a conference, please do so here:

Message for 5th Grade Families:
Unfortunately, due to today's snow day, 5th grade caregivers were not able to meet with the Gibbs principal to discuss the transition to Gibbs for 6th grade. We have rescheduled this meeting for Thursday, March 12th at 8:10am in the Stratton cafeteria.
Warmly,
Amy
